Jason Ridge Has Lost His Mind

So, a little while ago, Jason Ridge commented here on the "News Desk" for the Erik Rhodes video blog (see our YouTube Channel by clicking HERE) that mentions him for exactly 4 seconds. Remember? I mentioned he was the one who suggested Erik attend the Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings? And I said I thought it was actually a good idea? And even compared Jason to being the Madonna of our industry who is all about the Kabbalah and the spiritual and all that good mental health stuff, right? Yeah, pretty complimentary in those four seconds, right? Well, Ridge is apparently furious! Here was his comment exactly as written:

Uh, did you have to drag me into this? I swear if you try to pin me against any hardship Erik is going through them I'm so through with you. You took words I may have said and took them out of context, I consider Erik a friend of mine in this industry and you will not fuck it up . Kabbalah equals fulfillment and has nothing to do with Madonna, Good Bye. Don't use my celebrity for you views or blog. The audience is not listening. Jason

...So, this video is my response to Jason Ridge.

Something tells me that I won't be doing PR for him as of this post. Oh well. He can fire me if he wants. I've been good to him and haven't even told the half of it to you guys -- nor do I intend to. But something had to be said when he starts threatening me and attacking me on my home turf.

I like him a lot and I love his new movie and I love his company. I actually think he really deserves Performer of the Year after all the work he did in 2007. But personally, he is on a crazy train these days that is headed straight for Britneyville if he doesn't get his shit together and start at least making sense when he posts comments like the ones here and in Mark Adams' blog.

Have a little respect for the people who are trying to be your friends and promote you for Chrissakes! Get it together, man.



UPDATE: Get this. You'll never believe. I spoke with Jason Ridge this morning and he took the video in good humor, saying he'd laughed and watched it a few times. We both apologized for any outbursts. He was kind of sweet and not so crazy at all today actually. He even made me laugh. He said we should just shrug it off as being a fantastic blog for me and more press for him. I think maybe he saw how stressed out he made me and I got through to him on some level. Whatever the case, I'm grateful (...and shocked) we can still be friends and work together.
